What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 292 & BENKYO RADIO 292.

It is imperative that the situation in Israel/Palestine calms down. As you have seen, there are protests AROUND THE WORLD demanding peace in the Palestinian territories. Everybody knows it, but felt powerless to Bibidi Netanyahu, the bully. Every world leader and religious leader wants this situation to calm down. It is imperative that the cease-fire remains in place for a long time. Remember what I have said previously, angering the Muslim world, a population of 1 BILLION people, is not smart. People cannot go to Churches, Mosques, and Synagogues and talk about the goodness of Jesus, or the Prophet (as a sign of respect, Muslims say “Peace be Upon Him”) if innocent civilians are being murdered, especially children. The U.N. Security Council had ALL ITS MEMBERS SAY PERFORM A CEASE-FIRE, except the United States who said no three times. If Biden was a grunt on a team, the Team Leader would have slapped him. That’s because he is jeopardizing one of the many issues that the Intelligence Community, Military, and Diplomats work on, which is “Peace and Stability of the World” (yes, that used to be on my dating profile when I used to be single). Look, I’m not trying to make a joke, I’m just saying, goddamnit, we have a lot of U.S. Troops in Afghanistan. Some are my friends, some my bestfriends, even though they’re batshit Republicans, and I’m batshit Liberal. I just want a peaceful withdrawal in Afghanistan just like the President wants, but we have 4 months remaining. That’s a long fucking time. We want them to come home. So, pretty please with a cherry on top, don’t aggravate the situation.

Check out the new TV Shows “United States of AL” & “Chad”, they’re not perfect, but I like that they bridge the divide between the different cultures. I mean it’s nice to watch a TV show where the brown people are not evil. It fights stereotypes, something that is very important.

Until next time!

It’s nice to see you no longer have to wear a mask in public if you’re fully vaccinated. I was able to sit at my favorite coffee shop called Temple (interestingly enough, it’s right near a Buddhist Temple). Sometimes there is nothing more satisfying than reading a book or reading the latest copy of The Economist and enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I now eagerly await my favorite Irish Pub to reopen for a Pint of Guinness and a Burger, maybe watch some EPL Football (Soccer).

We’re in the middle of the month of May! Hurricane season is upon us! If there are Typhoons in the Pacific, let’s hope the remnants will bring us some much-needed rain for the following weeks/months. If we don’t get enough rain, I’m sorry, we have enough inventions, let’s invest into more airplanes that can drop large amounts of water on megadroughts places. Thanks in advance.

Until next time!

I’m so excited about Mass Effect Legendary Edition released for PS4! It’s going to be a fun and long adventure!

The situation in Israel/Palestine has deteriorated. Unfortunately, for many years, Television in the United States placed a cover under your eyes, shielding you from the Truth. The truth that Palestinians have been suffering for more than 73 years. They are humiliated. They have to go through checkpoints, and every year, more radical EXTREME-RIGHT Israel folks (Remember when we all said all extreme-right and fascists are bad? Why is it okay when Israel does it?) steal land from Palestinians. Palestinians haven’t received COVID-19 vaccines. But somehow someway, Israel had a shit-ton of vaccines super early on, and quickly vaccinated Jews but not Arabs? Something is fishy here…yes, Israel is indeed the ones who created the UMBRELLA CORPORATION. They are performing ETHNIC CLEANSING. The world stays mute. Why? Because it’s not white people who are dying, but brown people? Enough is enough. Billions of human beings on Earth are watching the atrocities that are unfolding in Palestinian territories. Who will stand up for Palestine? Who won’t? Why is the “Mafia-Operating-Super-System-AD-vertising” (MOSSAD) so strong? Why won’t anybody stand up to it? This is wrong. Millions of Palestinians are suffering. It’s EID, which celebrates the end of the Holy month of Ramadan. Why is Israel pissing off the entire Muslim world? This is while we still have our U.S. Military and Allies in Afghanistan prior to the September 2021 pull-out? Bibidi Netanyahu is putting our troops in danger. Someone needs to tell him to stop. Thanks in advance.

BTW if the State Dept Spokesperson is too chickenshit to handle the question I’m coming to D.C. and making a public statement. You are literally MAKING THE LIVES OF THE 17-18 INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES VERY DIFFICULT.

Until next time!

We have to keep getting everybody vaccinated. Doctors and Nurses and EMTs are exhausted. The sooner we have “herd immunity,” the better. I understand that sometimes I talk about really complicated things like Quantum Mechanics, for the part of my audience that likes this type of stuff, unfortunately, some of it can fly right over your head. As a result, I am including a very simple easy to understand YouTube video series “Community Immunity” that explains to you how important it is to get vaccinated if we want to move forward. Thanks for listening.

I am extremely pleased with what Elon Musk said when he started SNL, he said he is the first host who has Asperger’s Syndrome (remember, not all Asperger’s Syndrome people are dicks like Mark Zuckerberg). Now I have a few things to say about the SNL evening. First of all, Elon redeemed himself. He is no longer in a Lex Luthor mode, but returned to his Iron Man persona. Here’s what you must understand, “The Dogefather” sketch, which was supposed to be amazing and exceed all expectations, was ridiculed, and this was not by mistake. SNL takes place in New York, the heartland of the Mafia of Wall Street. The writers could have EASILY wrote something AMAZING for that sketch, and they did not. Elon Musk was like “fuck this!” stayed polite and a few days later, he announced that he is sending a FUCKING SPACE ROCKET TO THE MOON PAID FOR WITH DOGECOIN. He is taking Dogecoin to the moon. This is crucial. Don’t be upset about your 20-30% dip of Dogecoin. In the long run, as many of us know, Dogecoin will be extremely valuable. I tip my hat to Elon for this move, because goddamn, that is impressive. I’m still upset that he doesn’t pay enough taxes, but it’s good because Biden gave him and other rich people an ultimatum, either pay higher taxes, or invest in Infrastructure.

Until next time!

I will wear a mask for another year but not for another 5 fucking years just because of ANTI-VAXXERS, which Doctors simply shake their heads because they will die from the pandemic. I guess it’s just natural selection. Get your vaccine shots, it will save your life.

Until next time!

When I went to the grocery store recently, I was able to buy some “Le Petit Ecolier” in Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate, and some Pim’s, which is a European biscuit with orange. These were delicious, and remind me of my youth, growing up in France. I cannot wait until I see “Hello de Lu” chocolate chip cookies. Those were unbelievably delicious, and anybody who lives in France understands how amazing those cookies were.

Can’t wait for all of us to take Dogecoin to the Moon. It appears that the Oakland A’s are now accepting payment for baseball tickets in dogecoin. More and more entities will follow. Think big picture. Think long-term.

Until next time!

It appears that Elon Musk will have his Dogecoin sketch this weekend. Cryptocurrency is huge. Don’t listen to dinosaur Warren Buffett. He’s simply an old geezer that the Wall Street Journal keep stroking him because he’s really rich. The future belongs to normal people, not the rich. Cryptocurrency will be the next gold standard. I believe in dogecoin. I will hold for a while because we all remember the Bitcoin (BTC) story: 2013, $1 = 1 Bitcoin, 2020, $50,000 = 1 Bitcoin. You have to admit that. You have to admit that Coinbase went IPO and is worth billions of dollars. Cryptocurrency is no longer a joke. It’s real. And for millions of us who are barely getting by, paycheck per paycheck, or waiting for Unemployment or Stimulus Checks, a small cryptocurrency investment can make a huge difference. Do NOT invest your lifesavings. ONLY invest a little bit, and watch your fruits go.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 283 & BENKYO RADIO 283.

I’m so excited about the month of May! It’s my birthday month. I have some projects to focus on as well. I wanted to highlight this month as a friendly reminder that whenever you feel as though the major countries of the G7 disrespect Palestinians by ignoring their problems, by ignoring the fact that Israel isn’t vaccinating them, causing ethnic cleansing, I want you to remember that you always have a friend in me. I raised awareness in the dance music community, and I am forever thankful that Beatport is showcasing Sama’ Abdulhadi’s incredible Techno DJ sets. We pray for peace and love for our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

As the pull-out begins to take place in Afghanistan, the Taliban must realize how stupid their rhetoric is. Killing innocent civilians won’t help them win the hearts and minds of everyday Afghan men and women. The United States confirmed that they are beginning to withdraw troops. There should be no more attacks. Need I remind you that the United States Air Force holds some pretty intense weapon systems. You should be thankful that we have a Democratic President. He could easily blow up Afghanistan to smithereens but he chooses not to because we are decent human beings. We are all human beings on this planet. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, other, or non-religious, we are all living on Planet Earth. And if you remember Carl Sagan’s speech from the satellite photo near Saturn, our world is nothing but a tiny blue dot. “God” or The Universe could easily burp and make us all disappear. You’ve seen how a pandemic virus brought us down to our knees. We need to work together. It’s time for the United States to lead the effort and give the patent of the vaccine to MSF (Doctors Without Borders) and Red Cross, so they can begin vaccinating the whole globe.

Summer is upon us. Let us pray for our firefighters who have a long fire summer season upon themselves. Let us pray for rain. Do a rain dance if you can. While #ClimateChange was the hashtag everybody was using, I want you to start using hashtag #ClimateChangeEmergency to raise the alarm. Sunrise Movement, keep holding the pressure on our elected officials. I know everybody thinks John Kerry is boring and annoying, but he’s here to get shit done. He’s here to work on our diplomatic ties with people around the world to work on the Climate Emergency.

Lastly, I am launching CYBERPUNK RADIO, my latest podcast series. Cyberpunk 2077 is such an amazing game and world. Please be patient, with version 1.22, and even more patches to come, it will be even better. Just imagine the DLCs…just imagine the sequels. For those of you who like VR, just imagine walking around Night City in VR. I have stickers, coffee mugs, t-shirt, hoodie, etc. I absolutely love this world. It’s cool and futuristic and I adore the music.

Please continue to support your favorite football (soccer) players in the EPL. Many have been subjugated to harassment and racism on Social Media. Racism has no place in Football.

The 2021 6hr of Spa-Francorchamps is taking place this weekend! Best of luck to all the drivers! Can’t wait to see these Hypercars!

Until next time!
